Re: Asparagus&Beans

Pat--

From what I've heard and seen it (second hand) takes longer than a couple
of years to get really good yields from an asparagus bed.  Don't
despair--4-5 years for optimal production.  

Susan--
As far as saving bean seed--bring in the pods when the beans begin to
rattle then let them dry out completely at room temp.  Pop the pods, save
and store the bean seed in cool and dry conditions, as close as you can get
to 50F and 50% humidity is ideal.  Or store seed in container with a little
powdered milk or closed silica gel packs or even some grains of rice to
absorb moisture.  

What variety are you saving?
